Powers	*A Natural Born Talent - Memory Tricks and Organizational Skill, Born and bred as a starcrafting rider, I'vix has a very keen memory and has a hard time forgetting things, but can do so over time. An incredibly good eye for details on people, animals, locations, and dragons mean that he knows when anything is out of place or has changed even slightly. They will notice that little hickie on your neck, or that someone's forgotten to replace the coffee filters, and will absolutely remember how to pronounce even difficult names once they're explained! All of this leads to I'vix being an ideal records-keeper, and as such the school has allowed or even encouraged them to take multiple courses (specific for Dragonries, and Overall) to refine their skills. ^This offers a +3 to the Record Keeping Skill and +2 Cluster Dragon Rider - Because of their extensive selection on Pern, generations of riders behind them, this student is able to ping telepaths and empaths alike, and has a strong ability that is unusual even among their kin back home. Also since they already have a dragon bond, other skills and powers become available 'via' that dragon -- Hears All Dragons - This allows them to easily communicate with draconic beasts, but also animals of most sorts, excepting insects and some mollusks and worms. They are sensitive to the needs and thoughts of all of them, but not so much that they 'feel the pain' when an animal is slaughtered. That part of their life is so normalized that it's 'nothing special'. They can hear overall thoughts and surface ideas at around 200 meters, and easily communicate at 100 meters, but also pry a little into draconic minds (if unprotected by magic or other forms of defense) at 20 meters. Also is able to sense emotional stability among them at 50 meters, but this is one case where if the dragons are 'rising' to mate, they do leave the area because it's just too much -- Animal Sensitive - They can detect and identify specific animals at 100 meters, and sense their overall health and well-being, emotional state, and any higher thought at 50 meters. They can also begin influencing those thoughts or behaviors within 10 meters, and with touch can control a lesser animal's mind completely. (Lesser being 'prey animal or non-talking bird' level) -- Flight, Distance Sensing, and Teleportation - Their dragon is responsible for flying, obviously, but as a rider dragon team they are actually quite stunning! While it seems that sometimes they let this dragon have their way doing tricks or wandering away, this is quite normal for them, since their minds are tightly wound, and the dragon acts as extra eyes and ears, and can interact with humans or other dragons on the rider's behalf. They can move between locations, on-site, long distance, dimensionally, and even through time. Done much more easily thanks to the skills brought from star charts and memorization!
Clusters	^Mind Like A Steel Trap +5(3) If it gets noticed or detected in any way, I'vix's mind will definitely tuck it away. Whether that's the gossip going on in the locker room, or the way an animal shies away from its handler in class, or the specific wording of a legal document (that they might not understand specifically but will certainly remember) you can rely on any information they convey to be accurate. I'vix can ace exams with ease, but still enjoys study groups, and doesn't let idle chatter consume them if someone says something weird or bad. They will certainly act on it if it's 'really' bad, but they don't judge - that's not their place
Skills	^Record Keeping and Chart Making +6(3) This is I'vix's life, and they love it! With their memory able to keep little details as well as a long term pattern recognition, they are apt to only draw up actual charts when they need to present findings (who keeps taking those coffee filters? really? well let's find out based on which class periods they seem to be gone...), but can draw charts, plot courses, make maps, and with a little coaxing can also use computers to help with databases and spreadsheets. They can also recite those lists and information back with either no embellishment or in a 'paragraph of your own' format, though truth be told I'vix isn't smashingly creative in that regard, being much more practical than fancy Ride! +4 I'vix rode their father's dragon frequently on their trips across the Weyr to other Holds and such, and has always had a good grasp on the ways dragons move and act in the air. This skill set also includes upkeep of gear and some amount of tactical work with teams Animal Care +4 With their ability to also detect and even control animals, it's a no-brainer that they will also be working with creatures for any location. Be it the Weyr for the kitchens, or out and about in Crescent City maintaining safety or patrols. Note well, that while I'vix is both empathic and telepathic with animals, the Kin and Morphs found on Twoarth are not animals and are only affected by their human-centric power...
Knacks	Luck Based Interdimensionality +3 Because sometimes your mind does wander, inventing stars and landmarks... Just because I'vix has a permanent memory of real places doesn't mean they didn't dream about wild things! While they were a child, 'someone' (Hollis, it was Hollis) came through their Weyr and picked a bunch of kids to attend a hatching offworld. It was no coincidence that the Bronze rider chose this group and specifically Iocavix, not merely because 'rider's kid' but because the stars told him to. Be here at this time, right? So now I'vix knows there are other worlds, dimensions, and places which could only be limited by his imagination... While they're brave, they're also not stupid and will go prepared for anything... Doesn't Get Remembered +3 Even if I'vix were to, say, rob a bank or cause an accident... somehow, that luck also passes to activities, but it does also sometimes lead to them being left out or behind, which is okay because I'vix can tell when things are happening. Just... would probably be nice if they didn't have to keep reminding their classmates that yes, they do exist...

Other Info	They live off campus, but no one knows where. (Well, they live in the dragonry dorms, but no one's ever asked.) Very little else is memorable about this student.
